Information Society Jobs – Quality for Change
The report confronts this changing climate with an analysis of the IS’ fundamental impact on employment. Tracking progress since last year’s “Benchmarking Report”, it verifies the basic assumptions and major policy objectives set-out in the „Strategies for Jobs int he Information Society”. The report addresses different levels of IS jobs, defined here as all jobs for which ICT are a basic tool in delivering work, and – but distinguished from them – jobs which require expertise in ICT and/or e-business. The term “Information Society” is used throughout the paper to focus on ICT. It thus addresses key elements, but not all aspects of the broader impact of the “knowledgebased economy” on employment. But the report does much more than up-dating last year’s benchmarks. The second part focuses on the Information Society’s contribution to enhancing quality in work.
